It’s a good thing Amanda Tapping can act. She was shooting the film Random Acts of Romance this year when Sanctuary, the series she helped create and on which she starred (as Dr. Helen Magnus), died a fairly abrupt death.
“We fought, we fought, right up until the last minute and then had, like, 24 hours to get our stuff out of the studio,” Ms. Tapping said this week. “I remember one lunch hour, walking down that little alleyway and calling my husband in tears and saying, ‘Thank God I’m on this movie.’
“Honest to God, it saved me emotionally...”
... Random Acts of Romance, which has its world premiere at the Vancouver International Film Festival on Oct. 5, was meant to be Ms. [Katrin] Bowen’s feature debut, but funding fell apart at the last minute. With a crew all hired and ready to go, she wrote a new script in two weeks. Amazon Falls – shot in only two weeks with a paltry budget of $50,000 – premiered in 2010 at the Toronto International Film Festival and the Vancouver International Film Festival...
Random Acts of Romance cast includes Sanctuary's Amanda Tapping, Katharine Isabelle, Sonja Bennett, Laura Bertram, Zak Santiago, Ted Whittall, Emily Bett Rickards, Christina Jastrzembska, Lisa Chandler, Robert Moloney, Nicholas Carella, Carolyn Adair and Taylor St. Pierre.
